I am thinking about getting a layout boat to hunt in when I am by myself. I mainly hunt on the Ohio River and launch from the backwaters and would paddle out to the main river but I also hunt in a flooded corn field sometimes. I have been looking at the otter final atack and the phantom. My state requires any boat with a motor to be regisered so I would prefer to have something that I could paddle to were I needed to go. I hunt against the bank so I would be siting in shallow water but would need to cross deeper water to get to m spot. I have different concerns about both boats. The final attack I have read is hard to paddle and Im not sue about the stability of the phantom since I am going over deep water. I am also open to any other boats that anyone would suggest. Any opions on this would be greatly appreciated.

I'll suggest the Creek boat M98, Like I have in the two threads mentioned above.

also double check your state's motor registration rules, you probably wont have to register a trolling motor, I know I dont. And my boat being small enough not to need registration, so I often cruse around with a 30lb thrust.

I live in KY and unfortuanantly they require registration for any motor. It is cheaper if you just have a trolling motor that is why I would rather have a boat I can paddle. Thanks for all the responces I will definantly be looking into some of the other ones. I guess I should have said that I am not planning on using this boat all the time as my main boat so I would like to keep the cost under $600-700.

My Creek Boat M98 was around $600 after freight.

I just bought a Ride 135 Sit on top kayak and am going to make the back tankwell for the pup to sit in. The water she drags in will drain out and will not have to sit in it, or will she. Austin Kayak had them on close out of the 2013's for $850 to your door.
